In most situations, the books are given to the parents who will then give to their children while visiting mom with the new baby. The books are always enjoyed by moms, dads and especially their children. Congratulations to Da’Vonna, Darnell, big brother Da’Lon and baby Danae – happy reading! Special thanks is given to Gloria and Roberta, and the entire association, for their ongoing support of our BirthPlace and our patients.

https://www.bronsonpositivity.com/because-we-are-family/#respondThu, 13 Dec 2018 21:23:58 +0000http://www.bronsonpositivity.com/?p=7078Bronson Battle Creek’s close knitted culture lends itself to “family” and teamwork. I work with a wonderful group of people who work hard for patients, their loved ones and each other. While we do this, we develop great working relationship and friendships outside of the hospital. Unfortunately, I have memories of unfortunate, even tragic, situations that have occurred in the lives of some of my colleagues. The wonderful part of this is how we’ve rallied around our colleagues and friends…sometimes months and years after the unfortunate or tragic situation. My passion to provide professional and quality spiritual care brings me back to Bronson Battle Creek the next day and the next day. My friends and colleagues also bring me back.

I take great pride in the care we provide to patients, their loved ones and each other. I love ‘em, care for ‘em like family because we are family.

https://www.bronsonpositivity.com/she-worked-so-hard/#respondThu, 13 Dec 2018 15:37:56 +0000http://www.bronsonpositivity.com/?p=7068I am an employee at Bronson Internal Medicine and Rheumatology, but in November I was a patient. I was scheduled to have surgery on my hip. The nurse, Denise J., was a delight! She worked so hard to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.

Upon waking after surgery, I was in so much pain (like none I have ever felt), Denise was right by my side holding my hand and helping me focus on my breathing. I was having severe muscle spasms in my hip and they were working hard to get the pain under control. After what seemed to be hours (not sure how long it really was) the anesthesiologist came in and did a block which finally worked.

I was offered a drink and I requested Mountain Dew which was not available in recovery. Denise took the time and went to find me a Mountain Dew. Denise stayed with me until I was finally comfortable even though she was due to go home. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me!

By the time I was sent to my room, room service was no longer available so another nurse, Erin B., wrote down what I wanted and went and got it herself and brought it up to me, along with another Mountain Dew (LOL). Because of these two nurses, an experience that was quickly going bad, ended up being mostly positive. I will be forever grateful to these two nurses.

From the emergency department, we were referred to Bronson Orthopedics. We have had the pleasure to be treated by Gabriel Bravo, D.O. What a great doctor! Dr. Bravo is very down to earth, easy to talk to and relatable. He treats my son with the utmost care and respect. The office visits are enjoyable, it’s like talking to a friend. Dr. Bravo wants and gives my son the best medical treatment… like he would for his own family. I would recommend Dr. Gabriel Bravo to everyone. Great care! Thank you.

They’ve been making this holiday visit for six or seven years now. It really raises the spirits of all the children. They hand out coloring books, crayons, stuffed animals and lots of other things.

The artistic director, Cathleen Huling, does such a wonderful job with the dancers. They’ll be at a child’s bedside, and Cathleen gives the dancers a count, and they do a little improvised dance and are on point. It is beautiful and the kids’ faces light up and they want to take pictures with the ballerinas. There is also a virtuoso violinist, Barry Ross, who joins the dancers and plays along as the group goes from room to room. It’s so nice to see the children enjoy a little holiday cheer and it helps to brighten their stay in the hospital.

Editor’s note:

The group from Ballet Arts Ensemble is presenting a mini Nutcracker at the Ladies Library association on Sunday, December 16, 2018

Dr. Michael Leinwand is also a part of the Nutcracker visit, seen in the photo as character Uncle Drosselmeyer.

During our surprise November snowstorm, Linda was working at the front desk and noticed snow accumulating rapidly near the front entrance of the Outpatient Center. Facilities was working across the campus trying to keep up with the storm, so Linda took the initiative to grab a shovel and clear the front entry – even breaking up and removing some ice.

Customers and staff commented on her cheerful and important contribution during the storm. Thank you Linda for caring deeply about the safety and satisfaction of our patients, staff and volunteers!
